I gotta a problem with people who think they are exempt from violence because of their profession. It's a myth. Doesn't matter if your walking the streets of Santiago or reporting in Afghanistan. Wearing a press sign on your bullet proof vest is no guarantee some ahole isn't going to put a bullet in your brain. If it was true, we'ed all be wearing some kind of banner or sign that exempted us from violence in foreign countries. Policeman are protected with vests and guns and they are subject to as much violence as anyone else. In Mexico, the cartels are killing priests that interfere with their business. That pretty much says it all. What you wear and who you are doesn't matter in today's world.
